"The only newsreels I remember are of helicopters being pushed
off the deck to make room for more people from Saigon during
the 1975 Vietnam evacuation. "
Pete,
The History (or Nazi) Channel shows endless reruns of some WWII newsreel
photos of fighters being pushed off the sides of carriers. These were
aircraft that were damaged in landing, and the deck needed to be cleared
ASAP for other planes with damage, low fuel, or injuries.
